"...the journalists who get lucky enough to find a job in the new industry will be paid far less than in their previous jobs due to leaner profit margins, a large and desperate pool of newly-unemployed journalists, and downward wage pressure.."
Hmmm. You say it like it's a bad thing.

"...we would refer them to the network operators because the diagnostic data collected belongs to them and not Carrier IQ."

Really? Over some easily-circumvented rules that only affect, after all lets admit, a

For that, you wish to stage an armed revolt? Bullets and guns?
You're joking, or psychotic. Choose one.
